yep, it's a real pain to get the '10 off. I have an '08 and just pulled them off. I replaced the visors last week with '10 and got the decals off.
It takes steam. I took a steam iron. covered the visor with a piece of felt and held the steaming iron about a 1/4 inch off of the surface. most of the decal pealed off pretty quickly. the remaining decal was difficult, but it came off.
about 30 minutes overall. the visor was not damaged... but i did not touch the visor with the hot surface.
good luck...

On my 08 JKU I just took the driver side and switched it with the passenger side. That way the stickers are facing up where you can't see them until you lower the visor.

So this worked on the 10'/11' ? Might be interested in doing this or at least trying- You can def start to pick at a corner as if it's raised. Just need to find out if it will lift up-

yes... my wife wanted a mirror... they are larger and slide... there are several threads on the forum. but, the stickers are attached in a totally different manner than the earlier models.
